+ * The way that the Blackfin core timer works is:
+ * - CCLK is divided by a programmable 8-bit pre-scaler (TSCALE)
+ * - Every time TSCALE ticks, a 32bit is counted down (TCOUNT)
+ *
+ * If you take the fastest clock (1ns, or 1GHz to make the math work easier)
+ * 10ms is 10,000,000 clock ticks, which fits easy into a 32-bit counter
+ * (32 bit counter is 4,294,967,296ns or 4.2 seconds) so, we don't need
+ * to use TSCALE, and program it to zero (which is pass CCLK through).
+ * If you feel like using it, try to keep HZ * TIMESCALE to some
+ * value that divides easy (like power of 2).
